Like all species within the genus Conasprella, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.
Description
The size of the shell varies between 20 mm and 35 mm.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Barbados and Tobago; also off French Guiana.
gollark: I may eventually have to have some optional JS for a latency graph, but it shouldn't be necessary for basic features.

gollark: It logs historical data. Thus I must add interfaces for that. But it's ready for initial use already thanks to advanced osmarkstechnoloγy.
gollark: It's handwritten, perfect and flawless.
